Wow it's almost one year, time flies.

Yes, a very important point sending merit does affect voting but I guess this will be part of it and we have to accept it. Yes rules can placed for example not to count votes of certain users based on some xyz criteria but will this not introduce some sort of discrimination too?

I don't think it's discrimination, as long as the rules are clear and they're presented before the voting starts.
After voting begins, no changes should be made to the rules unless it is something serious that you have to do.

I also do not think that this will lead to discrimination. Since this is a vote for the members who contribute the most to the community, it makes sense that only active members have the right to vote.

Last year there was a rule:
Quote
You must have 50 merit or be a full member or higher to vote

I think it would be good to expand this rule to take into account only merits earned during the current year. It does not have to be a limit of 50 merits, but maybe it could be reduced to 20 or only 10.

If the amount involved is substantial, it is advisable to hire a lawyer. A lawyer who has experience with similar cases will be preferable, as he will know what steps to take in order to get a court order freezing funds. With such a court order, the exchange can be ordered to freeze the account and hold the funds until a decision has been reached on whether they should be returned to you or not.
That is if OP is lucky enough that the hacker will keep those coins in the centralized exchange long enough for the paperwork to be completed for the freezing to take place. If I was a thief, I would probably try to get away as fast as possible and not use those centralized exchanges for those purposes at all.

If the scammers had to go through KYC at Gate.io and Huobi, a good lawyer could eventually get the exchange to reveal the names of the account holders. By then, the coins will probably be long gone. But OPs lawyer could then go against those individuals, assuming they didn't use stolen identities and KYC information of some poor bastards that have nothing to do with this.     

Yes. That is right. The OP can't really do much about a scammer on his own. That is why I recommended that the OP hire someone from the legal profession, so that he could request a freeze of funds and/or contact information of the scammer if he discovered that the stolen coins ended up on a centralized exchange. If the scammer sold them on an exchange that is regulated by FinCEN (or some other similar agencies in other countries in the world), then the OP would have a pretty good chance of getting at least some info from the exchange, which will ultimately enable him to take further legal action.

Hello guys,

Upcoming week I have my exam about bitcoins.
~

I am just curious, what kind of exam is that? Is it maybe related to a job interview?  If so, I really think you should research the answers to these questions on your own. You will get the necessary knowledge that will benefit you in your future career. If you have difficulty with a particular question, feel free to ask, but do not rely on this site to give you all the answers. Also, I would recommend that you try to answer the questions yourself before consulting this site. It will help you learn more and you may be surprised by what you find out!
1544  Other / Archival / Re: The use of mining energy for the implementation of useful and good services. on: October 18, 2022, 07:54:15 PM
The future of the project is bright because Bitcoinbloem has managed to test and prove that Bitcoin mining does not have to be wasteful for energy consumption and that different industries can join together and complement each other. It will continue to receive international advertisement and attention as time moves on. The project may also be scaled up to produce various other products, such as vegetables. It could also be used to grow other plants that require special care and attention, such as medicinal herbs. The project will continue to grow and expand, as more people become aware of the benefits of using the technology. This means that Bitcoinbloem is not just a one-time project, but something that can become a long-term contribution to the crypto community and society in general. I wish them all the luck and success they deserve.

Is it possible to make multiple transactions using metamask instead of sending one after the other?

No, I do not think it is possible. It is not about MetaMask, it is about the way transactions work in general on the Ethereum network. You can make multiple transactions only using a dapp or custom smart contract, as far as I know.

1547  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What efforts have you made to raise bitcoin awareness in your community? on: October 17, 2022, 08:46:32 PM
None, to be honest.

I don't want anyone to know that I have Bitcoin, and only the people close to me who I would trust with my life know. Everyone else, when the subject comes up, I get interested in it and ask questions as if I don't know much. It's funny because there are more than one who goes as an expert because he has read two things and has no idea.
It’s useless to keep on talking things and spread about its good news to the people when in the first place, they always believe it’s not even legit and definitely a big scam. So i think I’m just tired of it hearing and just learn to keep it to myself. After all, when the government approves it, people will eventually start to see its positive sides and embrace bitcoin like they did to fiat. Although I am also sharing concepts of bitcoin to some of my close friends, but the intention is purely for investments discussion.

I have found that it heavily depends on the type of situation you find yourself in. If you bring up something about cryptocurrencies around a number of people who are familiar with them, you will get a range of opinions, and they will likely have their own opinions on the matter. This can lead to some heated discussions if you feel strongly about one side or another of an issue. This can have heavy implications when discussing bitcoin with friends who are not as well-versed in the subject. At the same time, if you attempt to talk about how much you love your bitcoin experience around family members who may not be as tech-savvy and who are unfamiliar with cryptocurrencies, it can lead to confusion and questions that will make you want to avoid talking about it all together.

Once again, don't invest in any cryptocurrency except Bitcoin
~
Bitcoin do not guarantee secured profits but will ensure high potential to be profitable. That way, it will be clearer particularly for newbies not to trust other crypto projects but only stick to bitcoin as it can always be legit and never part of scams. However, people also get scammed by their own obvious stupid decisions, that will teach them to invest in new crypto projects and end up losing their funds.

Well put. Young investors need to know that they are exposing their funds to a high level of risk and there is no absolute guarantee that investments will turn out well. But, after all, if bitcoin has survived the many ups and downs since its release, it is safe to bet that it will still lead the cryptocurrency world. Although no one can guarantee high profits when investing in bitcoin, but this cryptocurrency has risen from $10k to $60k per coin in several months at the end of 2021. The potential for profitability is still present. Thus, I am sure that bitcoin will maintain its position as the leading cryptocurrency in the world of cryptocurrency and ensure profits for investors that invest long term with it.

Last I checked, walletexplorer.com is quite outdated and does not know of many of the newer wallets belonging to various exchanges and services. You might have better luck checking out the following sites:

Here is another website to check out that might be useful:

what does it mean?

According to glasschain.org both of these addresses are linked to the gate.io exchange.

sorry sir it's all my friend's account if you don't believe it's okay. and I will also explain that the wallet I use is indeed the same as the one they use, but they have sold their wallet to me along with the existing token. because my wallet, which is often used, has been hacked and cannot be accessed anymore. I am grateful if you can understand.

What a lame excuse! Why on earth would anyone buy another person's wallet after their own has been compromised by a hacker?
That doesn't make any sense at all. If nothing else, after allegedly being hacked once, it makes sense to take all the security measures to prevent it from happening again. Using someone else's wallet is the complete opposite of that.

And so you are either a liar or incredibly stupid. Which one is it?
1551  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin Logo on: October 16, 2022, 12:44:37 PM
Also, just a heads up: there's no "official" Bitcoin logo.

I think it is fair to say that the most recognizable and probably the most used Bitcoin logo is designed by member bitboy, back in 2010. This is one of the first logos that were created for Bitcoin by a community member. It is a simple design, and it has proven to be timeless.

There are far too many scams in ICOs and crypto investments, investors are now much more careful and aware of the potential risk. This is a good thing, but it also means that this has made it harder for companies to raise funds, especially those that have legitimate business ideas. Therefore, it will be very important to give potential investors enough information. Investors want to see that you have made an effort to present a professional image of your project and to convince them with all the available materials. Because quite honestly, a large number of ICOs are launched by people that do not really need blockchain or distributed ledger technology. They simply want to take advantage of the hype and get some quick funding before their useless project fails.

The best way to reach investors is to post your pitch on ICO sites and other crypto investment forums, this will give you a good chance to get some publicity for your project. See it as exposure, not promotion. The worst thing you can do is try to cash in quickly and not really have a plan or work towards the projects completion. If you are open and honest with your potential investors, you will be surprised at how many people can help you out. It's all about building the trust first. You are asking them for their hard-earned money, so show them that you are worth giving that money to.
1553  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does everyone want bitcoin to be stable in price? on: October 16, 2022, 11:39:42 AM
To be honest I think we need a taste of both worlds I.e stable and volatile as they come with their own pros and cons. A stable bitcoin could easily invite people and institutional investors into this ecosystem but then again looking at it from a traders point of view some volatility would be good to trade as this could be comparable to gold or Nasdaq which are highly rewarding if you catch the right market move.

Sorry to disappoint you, but bitcoin never was a 1-way bet (at least it is not at the moment). The price will go up if enough people think it is valuable and will "use it as digital gold". And the reverse is also true. From the perspective of trading, the volatile market is ideal. From the perspective of adoption, stable market is better. A balance between these two could drive this ecosystem to new heights. That is why I am holding, because I believe in its potential. But the point is, Bitcoin is not for everyone. It has its pros and it has its cons. You need to research if you have plans on being a part of the ecosystem. You should know what you are getting into and be prepared to lose everything if you are just a trader looking to profit on the swing of volatility.
1554  Other / Meta / Re: Having an "I solemnly swear / attestation / liar liar pants on fire" thread on: October 16, 2022, 09:21:44 AM
Well, yes, I like both ideas, but consider this: liars are everywhere. It is inevitable that they will be here. I doubt that such people will voluntarily publish incriminating evidence about themselves here ... at least not if they have any common sense or self-preservation. Liars will always try to cover their tracks. If they admit to lying or confirm their lie and a thread provides proof of their guilt - then yes, they are guilty as charged. If they deny it - then there isn't much more you can do because of the nature of this place. You cannot force someone to admit they are a liar.

So, I think it will be more useful to have a thread where members can post evidence that someone is lying. And just like we have threads to expose alt accounts or plagiarists, I think it would be helpful for members to post evidence about someone who has lied. If someone is obviously lying, and you can prove it - then it would be great if we could have a thread where the evidence could be posted. It would also help if other members could verify those claims and offer additional proof, if necessary. I think a thread like this will help clear up confusion about what is true and what isn't, especially in regards to controversial topics.
1555  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How much gambling is in trading cryptocurrencies? on: October 16, 2022, 07:58:01 AM
The fact is that not everyone can trade cryptos, much like how not everyone can perform at the World Cup. A good number of people have no clue how to play soccer, which would make them outmatched in this competition. Likewise, the same goes for cryptocurrency trading, not everyone is capable of it, no matter how much you learn. If you decide to dive into the world of cryptocurrencies, then you need to understand that they hold a fair share of risk involved. There are reasons to be optimistic about them, and there are reasons to be weary. If you're interested in trading cryptocurrencies, then you should always do your research and never invest more than you can afford. Some people have made incredible amounts of money by doing so; others have lost it all. Speculating can lead to big gains, but it can also lead to big losses – don't fall prey to hype and buzzwords in your efforts to play the market.

1557  Economy / Gambling / Re: Euphoriabet.io NO KYC Crypto Esports Betting and Roulette on: October 15, 2022, 01:00:31 PM
I agree with decodx that the platform has no right to ask for KYC since they are unregulated by the government.

Well, the casino has the right to do anything they want, that's how casinos works, they sate the rules and if the users aren't agree to those rules, then they can leave the site.

Well, in this context, to "have a right" refers to being lawful or performing actions that are in accordance with the law. Therefore, I think members here are right when they say that casino sites have NO RIGHT to collect personal data from their users if they themselves are not regulated and in accordance with international or local laws. I mean, they can, and many online platforms do, but that does not mean it is legal or that they have the right to do so. I know, semantics.   Wink

By the way, a big -1 for the thread tittle, that no KYC is a lie.

That is right! I mean, that is so wrong.  Cheesy
1558  Economy / Reputation / Re: The Latest Rule is 1 merit per week for signature campaign by yahoo62278 on: October 15, 2022, 12:14:35 PM
This board for Reputation right? It is assumed that the narration of topics to complain about something (eg: merit point every week) as long as you support the story there is no need to create a topic here, so the most appropriate place is OFFTOPIC or I forgot something. Huh

I first noticed this topic in the Meta board, so I think the moderators moved it here. Personally, I have no idea where this discussion best belongs, but it is definitely not for Meta. Maybe Service discussion would be most appropriate... Since we are discussing signature campaigns.
1559  Economy / Reputation / Re: The Latest Rule is 1 merit per week for signature campaign by yahoo62278 on: October 15, 2022, 08:28:06 AM
The merits system can certainly be a powerful tool to help fight spam and it is about time campaign managers started using it more. I mean, that is what they are meant for, right? And it is a valid one given that many people are not exactly fond of the idea of reading through countless threads filled with spam. Most signature campaigns require five merits in the last 90 days, which majority of campaign participants can meet with ease, but this is not enough so I support this initiative. I believe that yahoo will not automatically kick out members who do not receive a single merit per week, but I am sure he will pay more attention to them.

Is this me or anyone else is also seeing kamvreto is just making the whole things cheesy?

Cheesy? I do not know. But it definitely looks like merit fishing.  Wink

I just want to remind everyone to be careful about installing unknown or unverified apps on your phone. Even apps on Google Play are not always safe, as we have seen in the past, and there are a lot of apps in Google Play that are infected with malware. So just be careful about what apps you install on your phone, especially if they do not come from Google Play. If you want to keep your phone safe, make sure to research any app before installing it and only install from verified sources.

And as a general rule, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
